Location and Borders: (Anywhere on Earth is allowed. If I find the borders to be too large than I will ask you to change them.)

Military Description: (The specifications of your armed forces, that is if you possess any. Training, training methods, numbers, equipment, and vehicular strength on both land sea and in space are all expected.)

I don't like Indonesia. Because Aperson runs it. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED IN AUSTRALIA. Destroying your entire ground army was not enough for me... NOW I WILL HAVE RE- *dies while monologuing*

Also I've decided to move away from the S.A.U's bio-terrorism in favour of BOOM BOOM EXPLOSION!

History: La Armée sans Nations was born from the early fires of World War 3. Founded on the ideology of Alban Cônté the ultimate goal of ASN is to carve out a corner of the world where a soldier may not fight his or her own brother. And to be free of the political strife that rocks the international world. This may draw itself to carving a bloody swathe in the landscape to create its end means, or coming to bring the world armies to heel before it.

Alban Cônté was born in Toulouse, France. He was both a scholarly kid, and physically fit. On top of it all, a French and European nationalist. Upon completing his primary education he volunteered for military service. He served several tours of duty before opting for the chance to join the Commandement des Opérations Spéciales (COS) or the French Special Forces. Here, he defined himself as an adept soldier with tours of duty in Mali and abroad, eventually being promoted to the rank of an officer. Though commissioned, it did not stop him from being out in the field where he continued to showcase his prowess with a sort of romantic philosophy.

Come the onset of World War 3, the natural state of the world came crashing in around him and his ideology of national service became questioned as he watched men he held as brothers be pit against each other. The missions tasked to him by his motherland taxed him even more when Paris demanded he hunt and kill a man he held as a friend.

The mission was ultimately a success, and though a foot note in the war it was a major turning point in his life. By war's end, he had given up on the foibles of politics and excused himself with honor from his post.

Entering the private sphere, he organized himself and scoured the world for any veterans who remembered the war, and like he were scarred by its atrocities. From this group, he built up the solid core that would be the center of ASN: Désespoir Corp. Though the Désespoir Corp, Alban and his colleagues sold themselves out to private organizations and willing nations without a standing army as a spec-op group for hire. Building up their reputation, and Alban's mission.

Several years after a sizable following had accumulated around Alban based on his renown in the field of soldiers for fortune and he was a man of legend in those darkened circles, attracting more lost veterans, or thugs. And on them, he laid down the groundwork of his new world vision.

A state, or world that'd free every soldier.

One that has no outer allegiance. Exists outside the confined realms of arbitrary and insane politics.

One where the duty of the soldier is his own, and not determined by the state. Wars are not declared for inane reason. Politics at an end. Freedom of enemies.

The foibles of politics will no longer dictate who will be the enemy in the next decade or century, as there would be no more enemies. War will come to an end. Soldiers will be heroes again and not pawns.

Alban's journey and the freshly declared ASN – with the Désespoir Corp at its center – organized itself out of arbitrary, nomadic, and decentralized existence and marched to Central Asia where ethnic and religious tensions between the many Turkic tribes conflicted with Arab and Iranian populations as well as Russian. And the growing idea of Turkish nationalism under that of a revived Tengri flag had broken out into regional strife.

Here in these conditions, the skills of ASN could be realized by either being for hire, or simply inciting tensions higher to deal with the unwanted faction heads. To compensate additionally and for flexibility, Alban removed from ASN, in secret, two proxy organizations, answering to Alban through a proxy. These being Al-Raiah Sah'kanah and Proyekt. The more public face of the organization is handled by the proxy ExcIntel, based out of Denver Colorado as a registered private military corporation handling in logistics and other areas of military outsourcing. Often times the R+D of the other faces running through here in the reproduction of supplies and the cataloging of acquired specs.

ASN and its proxies are armed primarily off of the remnants of technology from the last war and from design specs bought off the black market. As well, political allies have made under the table donations in wares to the mission in the hopes of being spared the politically nihilist organization's brunt when they come reeling. Supplies and equipment are also scooped up from the field. Any reproductions needed are handles out to a string of international private outsourcing to specialist industry unrelated to ASN or any of its affiliated proxies.

Military Description: The forces of the New Italian Republic are trained for all climates. Forced to endure six months of training in the Tunisian heat, then trained for a further six months in the Alps. All other nations in the Mediterranean are too weak to object to constant military drills run by the N.I.R, which helps to train their navy. The Air Force is severely lacking and low on numbers. Approximately 5,000,000 men, being spared from WWIII.

Commercial Statistics: Trade with the other nations in the Mediterranean is frequent, making up for any resources the N.I.R can not produce on their own. While WWIII ravaged the land around them, the Italians focused on building the tourist industry, with the Colosseum almost functional. (( This will be important for the "screw Poland and Indonesia" arch. )) The majority of income now comes from tourists and trade, with wine and oil a popular export.

History: During WWIII, Italy maintained a strong neutral policy, getting rich of trade with warring powers. They slowly began building up a stronger military, with emphasis on training and discipline. Spain was involved in the war, which weakened their military, allowing the opportunistic Italian government to sweep in and take over the war weary country. After recouping their losses, which were few, they used Spain as their staging ground for an invasion of Portugal.

Now with control of the Strait Of Gibraltar, Italy changed its name to the New Italian Republic and decided that they needed to secure the support of their new territories. Quite strangely, several members of parliament began to 'vanish.' What was left was a core group of elites, only the richest people of all the territories of the N.I.R. This new funding to the government resulted in a massive spending boom, with the government investing in tourism projects and public works.

In 2018, a Tunisian freedom fighter seeking to lead his rebels away from the persecution of the government, led his group across the Strait Of Gibraltar, through Spain and then across the Alps into Italy. These rebels were crushed immediately by a swift response from the N.I.R government, who then mounted an attack on Tunisia in response. The territory was very quickly annexed.

Greece, wishing to recover from its lose in the war, expressed their wishes to join the N.I.R. They were accepted.

Meanwhile, in the North, Poland began growing in power, acquiring several new territories. The worried N.I.R began to heavily fortify the border and grow worried and distrustful, although still allowing trade to flow in the Mediterranean.

I just have no idea how you could work without it. Maps are needed to get a good idea of the borders and the established states, some people can't simply tell you the location of any country in the world by its name (which is how I feel about anything in the southern Pacific.)

Also, what happened to all the established conditions we were going to make that we laid down in the A Hundred Years Later thread. I've seen no mention of the time system, and not only that, nobody can see that Poland even exists. I feel like this was rushed out a bit quickly, people are being essentially just told 'post-WW3... go.'

History: Proyekt is the name of the sister company of the ASN, headed by Alban Cônté. It, too, was created by Cônté and the Désespoir Corp to perform missions related to a free military force that did not answer to the insanity of modern politics. But whereas ASN was created to perform missions in Central Asia, Proyekt's mission is to engage in paramilitary operations in Russia, Eastern Europe, and the Caucasus. Their modus operandi is quite similar to the ASN, as it is another head of the same beast alongside the Middle Eastern Al-Raiah Sah'kanah.

Alexander Nedazavich is another veteran of the Third World War, having fought in the Pacific Theater against US and Canadian forces for Alaska. While that campaign was a disastrous failure (an increasingly imperialist Canadian government would later claim Alaska), Nadezavich was quite well respected amongst his men for tactical skill. He returned to Saint Petersburg a hero, although his faith in the Russian government was shaken. Putin in particular had turned increasingly hardline while his austerity measures denied Nadezavich the support that he and his men had been promised.

Cônté's organization offered a safe haven for Nadezavich, and he slowly became privy to Cônté's ideas about a free soldier's nation. This, combined with his loyalty to the company and his actions during the War netted Nadezavich promotion after promotion until eventually he was called upon to head Proyekt. He would later go on to become a close friend to Cônté, often enjoying the distinct pleasures of an oligarchical lifestyle in tandem. Nadezavich can be described as a Russian oligarch playboy, and his estate is rumored to house dozens of models in a personal harem. Other eccentricities include a love of extreme sports and hunting.

The organization has been involved with dozens of conflicts in Russia and the surrounding area. They are known as a dynamic organization capable of both smashing revolutions and keeping the peace afterwards. They have been deployed to Chechnya, the Nagorno-Karabakh, and Poland, amongst other places. Their numbers are rumored to be in the hundreds of thousands, mostly consisting of veterans and young dissenters unwilling to join Putin's regular military force. Technological capabilities are on par with the ASN's, consisting of contemporary military equipment like unmanned vehicles and advanced mechanized and aeronautical capabilities. Naval forces specializing in anti-piracy are also known to be in use, although these are mostly corvettes, small boats, and the occasional amphibious assault ship.
